Backstory
This complex emoji sequence combines several elements: the basic person on bicycle (1F6B6), a dark skin tone modifier (1F3FF), a ZWJ (Zero Width Joiner), the male sign (2642), another ZWJ, and a right arrow (27A1). It allows for detailed representation of specific individuals and their actions within the Unicode standard. The specific directionality through the arrow is less common but allows for more precise visual storytelling.
